I agree completely, where was the cheese? Also, the music was definitely not in theme and it does create a bit of a beer tent vibe. I also think the shuttle service is a great idea, even a park and ride service as well. So instead of having to drive into Franschhoek and get stuck in traffic and try find parking, you park before Franschhoek and catch a shuttle. Some very good points.

We also went up for the weekend and fortunately bought our tickets online so the web tickets queue wasnt too bad. I did feel sympathy for the folk queuing to buy tickets though, in that heat! For what it's worth, my two cents re: the event: why, for a french inspired and themed event, did they have a rock band playing loud 70's pub style music in the tent? Surely some French cafe, accordion or loungey jazz would have been more appropriate? For me, it gave the tent a "varsity beerfest" feel. :( And then, why doesn't Franschhoek Tourism offer a shuttle service for transport around town - from one end to the other, every hour or so, allowing visitors to enjoy and indulge with the option of a cab/shuttle home? This is also revenue generating. So many visitors would make use of it instead of driving. I suggested it last year at the Champagne Fest, so let's hope they get it right this year. I'm looking forward to it !! :) Nice review Dax, thanks. We also went up for the weekend and fortunately bought our tickets online so the web tickets queue wasnt too bad.
